China car prices are plummeting to levels below 2002. What’s going on here? Can we believe the data? Global impacts? TSLA is taking a dive…
The average price of a used Tesla has declined 20 months in a row, moving from a record high of $67,900 in July 2022 to a record low of $31,568 today. That's a 53% decline.
Car prices are falling in China at faster rates than in 2002. So, initially I thought that china cars prices have come down to 2002 levels.

Yeah it’s falling off a cliff with no end in sight. No sure what’s next.

If Tesla is hurting this must be killing all of the non Tesla EV manufacturers who aren’t even profitable.

In PR.China, public transport is highly competitive relative to other countries I've been to, and pretty efficient to boot. Sometimes feel that it's not a matter of PR.China's infrastructure and public transportation services being awesome, more that the mismanagement and price-gouging in other countries is so prevalent.
Net - net, it's cheaper to drive in most of Europe than to catch a train, and the opposite is true in China, as far as I'm aware. I guess there may be other factors, but mostly I think it's this.

Wow interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing

It'd be interesting to know if fuel prices are a factor. I could be way off. Consumer sentiment maybe?
Interesting data. I wasn't aware of this.

Yeah it’s heading back up but not horrible

Good news for the consumers, i guess.
